Hi!
I have just expanded my disk (in VMware Workstation 9) from 450GB to 2TB. The expand part worked fine with no errors. Now I want to expand the drive in my Ubuntu 12.04 guest OS and I fail. I don´t have any clue on what is wrong. I did the exact same procedure from 450GB to 600GB with no errors, but now it don´t work.
I used this commands:
ls -al /dev/sda*
fdisk /dev/sda
n
p
3
w
--reboot--
ls -al /dev/sda*
pvcreate /dev/sda3
vgextend owncloud /dev/sda3
vgdisplay
lvextend -L +2000G /dev/owncloud/root (failed due to no space left)
resize2fs /dev/owncloud/root (failed)
Here are some different outputs after i tried to extend:

Cheers
